When I was 12 my older sister showed me a very gory scene from a series and I am so thankful for it (it's not as bad as it sounds)

So episode 1 of invincible "omniman vs the guardians of the globe" is a scene packed with very graphic scenes, including someone's head getting squashed like a watermelon in slo-mo, decapitation, etc, and it is VERY graphic.

My sister was watching it when it first released in 2021 and was gushing about how cool the series was to me during quarantine (cus what else was there to do right?)

Well she started talking about how cool the shift in tone was at the end of episode 1 and then said "ill show you, just don't cry or anything it's very like... graphic. There's blood and stuff but it looks awesome" or something like that.

I was shocked when the guys head got crushed and just looked at her like "🧍‍♂️😨 ", but she kept saying things like "just wait for the next one, look look look its so cool" until it was over. I was speechless cus of course I was at 12 years old (plus my parents didn't let me watch certain superhero movies yet).

However

Before watching the scene I was absolutely 💯 going to check out the series simply because my beloved older sister who I looked up to like she hung the stars themselves thought it was cool. The scene scared the shit out of me and I was too scared to even touch any related media on YouTube for years.

Now that I'm older and rewatched the scene a few hours ago (as I am properly watching the series now), I am so glad that the scene scared me so much that I never dared to watch it at that age. Therefore I am (strangely) very thankful towards my sisters terrible life choices concerning her younger sister.

*** She's apologised for showing me such graphic content at that age since then. It is behind us and I'm perfectly fine with her
